Description auxsvr 2024-05-06 19:06:14 UTC

SUMMARY
Comments in PDF files created by latex/xelatex acro/pdfcomment do not display in Okular, although evince displays them. Such comments are useful to display acronyms.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Write a TeX file using latex, acro, pdfcomment, that includes acronyms and pdfcomments.
2. Open it with okular.

OBSERVED RESULT
The acronym pdfcomment is not displayed when I hover the cursor over the acronym. The mouse cursor changes shape over acronyms, which implies that Okular identifies the string as an acronym.

EXPECTED RESULT
The acronym pdfcomment is displayed on hover over the acronym.

Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2024-06-16 22:50:47 UTC

It's annoying, they are "fake buttons with tooltip".

We could try to understand it and create fake areas that only show a tooltip and not the button (that shows if you press the show forms button in okular [no tooltip though])
